They say the A students work for the C students but the C students live within the world the drop outs create. The drop out spends ZERO time waiting in line to get told what do to get a paycheck. The C student may become a CEO but the drop out owns the damn business. This is because the man who was rebellious, doing drugs, partying, and getting in trouble as a kid lives with a much higher risk tolerance. The smart kids are too smart. They don’t have the ability to break rules and in this world you have to break rules if you want to go far. The kid who was afraid to smoke some weed, ditch class, sneak out and go to a party… will be scared to start a business, talk to the prettiest girl, risk it all pursuing a dream, or tell their competitors to get fucked. The matrix traps good people and rewards degenerates. The business world is far too competitive to succeed unless you have a degenerate side. This is because to become successful you have to constantly gamble on yourself. You have to be literally insane to become hyper successful because of the amount of risks you have to take on the way. The A or C student will be happy with making $250k a year and stop there because he doesn’t see a reason to keep risking his livelihood to go higher. Insanity is what allows someone to take the risks to create art and innovation beyond what is currently possible. You don’t get Kanye’s music without him being insane, you don’t get Heath Ledger’s Joker without him being insane. To achieve the impossible you have to be insane enough to believe it is possible. The rule breakers will have a hard time in this world and usually end up in jail or broke. This is because they never learn how to direct and control their own insanity. Their rebellious nature leads them to rebel against their friends, family, money, status, and their own minds. They rebel against success all together. But for the ones who can manage this insanity and direct it toward success… there are no limits. You must understand that if you were a troubled or crazy kid growing up, you have a super power but this power comes with curses. You will be the reason you win but also the reason you lose. You must learn to manage the chaos within. When I write I let my demons write, other times my angels. I’ve found success in blending the order and chaos within my mind. You can too but you must not fear going insane and taking huge risks. It’s not within your nature to live a normal life. Let your mind off the leash and be prepared to go on an adventure.
